Privacy Policy

Great Lakes Safaris Ltd. (“GLS”) operates greatlakessafaris.com and may operate other websites. It is GLS’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, GLS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GLS’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GLS’s visitors use its website. From time to time, GLS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

GLS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on greatlakessafaris.com blogs/sites. GLS only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to GLS’s websites choose to interact with GLS in ways that require GLS to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GLS gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at greatlakessafaris.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with GLS are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, GLS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with GLS. GLS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

GLS may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. GLS may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, GLS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

GLS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on GLS’s behalf or to provide services available at GLS’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using GLS’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. GLS will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, GLS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when GLS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GLS, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an GLS website and have supplied your email address, GLS may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with GLS and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. GLS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. GLS uses cookies to help GLS identify and track visitors, their usage of GLS website, and their website access preferences. GLS visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using GLS’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of GLS’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If GLS, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that GLS goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of GLS may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, GLS may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in GLS’s sole discretion. GLS encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
